Nice style

I really liked the style with this animation. It suited the theme of it quite nicely and the music added to it as well. Usually I despise white backgrounds, but for once it fit with it. Simplicity worked beautifully in this particular animation. The movements were fluid but the wiggle on the wall seemed out of place in comparison to the stickfigures.

Now, as my imagination takes over, I sort of wished the wall collapsed on him. It would have changed the pace and made me laugh, but hey, some other time for stick death.

Moving on from that pointless addition; I liked the animation, the overall message, and the way it was presented.

I like it

Would I be wrong to assume you've watched SilverStitch's Colour series? The animation style, the use of music, the message and the overall simplicity of the piece screams some form of inspiration from those games.

As simple as the animation is, you still do a wonderful job of getting the point across. I'm not going to lie and say that it brought a tear to my eye, but it was definitely a heartwarming piece.

As for improvements... try smoothing up the animation just a bit, make absolute sure that the music fits the message (it worked fine here, but for future reference, the music can make or break a piece like this), and possibly make it a little larger.

The way the wall shakes is interesting, and the motion itself works, but I feel that the extent of the shaking may have been just a little bit much.

Otherwise, this is a great starting point. I'd love to see more like this in the future.
